A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique
piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will require
you to register a MAC address in order to access the
Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address
with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have
currently registered with your ISP to the Router with the
MAC Address Clone feature.

Operating Mode Select the mode in which this Router
will function. If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, select Gateway. If another
Router exists on your network, select Router. When
Router is chosen, Dynamic Routing will be available as
an option.
Dynamic Routing (RIP) This option is displayed only if
the Operating Mode is set to Router. This settings enables
the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in
the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with
the other router(s). The Router determines the network
packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops
between the source and the destination. This feature is
Disabled by default.

Routing drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-determined

below to set up a new static route. (Click the Delete This
Entry button to delete a static route.)
